I noticed that both the FreeBSD FAQ and handbook look like they
were generated from SGML files.

Are there any SGML authoring tools available for FreeBSD? Or
maybe an Emacs mode for SGML?

Does anyone know how the FAQ and handbook SGML files were done?

Also, looking through the SGML stuff, I noticed that there
seems to be an SGML <table> tag mapping to html <TABLE>. This
seems to imply that maybe you can autogenerate html style 
tables from SGML. Is this true? That would be useful!

Thanks for any help.
